This option can be used several times to simulate up to 4 serials
ports.
+Use @code{-serial none} to disable all serial ports.

Available character devices are:
@table @code
@item vc
Virtual console
@item pty
[Linux only] Pseudo TTY (a new PTY is automatically allocated)
+@item none
+No device is allocated.
@item null
void device
@item /dev/XXX
This option can be used several times to simulate up to 3 parallel
ports.
+Use @code{-parallel none} to disable all parallel ports.
+
@item -monitor dev

it if your guest OS complains about ACPI problems (PC target machine
only).
+@item -no-reboot
+Exit instead of rebooting.

@item -loadvm file
Start right away with a saved state (@code{loadvm} in monitor)
@end table
a virtual network device on your host (called @code{tapN}), and you
can then configure it as if it was a real ethernet card.
+@subsubsection Linux host
+
As an example, you can download the @file{linux-test-xxx.tar.gz}
archive and copy the script @file{qemu-ifup} in @file{/etc} and
configure properly @code{sudo} so that the command @code{ifconfig}
See @ref{sec_invocation} to have examples of command lines using the
TAP network interfaces.
+@subsubsection Windows host
+
+There is a virtual ethernet driver for Windows 2000/XP systems, called
+TAP-Win32. But it is not included in standard QEMU for Windows,
+so you will need to get it separately. It is part of OpenVPN package,
+so download OpenVPN from : @url{http://openvpn.net/}.

@item @code{mouse}
Virtual Mouse. This will override the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
@item @code{tablet}
-Pointer device that uses abolsute coordinates (like a touchscreen).
+Pointer device that uses absolute coordinates (like a touchscreen).
This means qemu is able to report the mouse position without having
to grab the mouse. Also overrides the PS/2 mouse emulation when activated.
